External genetic factors of renal cancer

It is unfortunate if someone has kidney cancer in our lives. The occurrence of kidney cancer is related to the patient's bad lifestyle. Some people also ask why kidney cancer occurs and whether it is hereditary. To answer this question, we must understand the cause of kidney cancer. Only by understanding the cause can we prevent kidney cancer.

The cause of kidney cancer is unknown, but some data show that its incidence is related to smoking, antipyretic and analgesic drugs, hormones, viruses, coffee, cadmium, thorium, etc.; in addition, workers in some occupations, such as petroleum, leather, asbestos and other industries have a high incidence rate.

1. Smoking

It was found that smoking is positively correlated with the incidence of kidney cancer. People who have smoked for more than 30 years and smoked unfiltered cigarettes have an increased risk of kidney cancer.

2. Obesity and high blood pressure

Studies have shown that high body mass index ( BMI) and hypertension are two independent factors associated with an increased risk of kidney cancer in men.

3. Career

It has been reported that workers who come into contact with metals, newspaper printers, coke workers, dry cleaners, and petrochemical workers have an increased risk of developing and dying from kidney cancer.
